sometimes you need a mind not fixated on one way, someone that thinks out of the BOX.

i did not realize peppermintos was  Devuan.
ok so i have an arch Linux install on a 4core 8thread dell with v10.1 virt-manager qemu/kvm , so i started a vm of devuan_excalibur_6.1.0_amd64_desktop.iso then i went through what is on this page, then used boxes to boot peppermintos. and it all worked.

#3 Re: Desktop and Multimedia » virt-manager qemu/kvm install excalibur » 2026-02-06 19:27:50

ok so i tried boxes, and it works ! installing peppermintos just because it is small and i had it.
thank you Devarch yes i will you have opened up possibilities.
after peppermintos is done i will try what you said

ok so i install everything, from my first post.
it all seemed to go well.
but now i'm having a network problem with the install of the vm.

sudo virsh net-list --all

yes pcalvert
i'm trying to get away from systemd. the os i'v been using is good but bleeding edge, i have came into possession of a newer laptop dell precession 7750.   I'm not really  that good with cli .

i'm trying to install virt-manager qemu/kvm on devuan_excalibur_6.1.0_amd64_desktop.iso

the code i found for systemd Trixie

sudo apt install virt-manager gnome-boxes ebtables nftables dnsmasq qemu-kvm 
qemu-system-x86 seabios ovmf libvirt-daemon libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-daemon-system-systemd 
libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu libvirt-daemon-config-network libvirt-daemon libvirt-clients

all of the packages i have found in synaptic except for two these two i have questions about

qemu-kvm --------------------------------------------------------------openstack-tempest-ci-live-booter
libvirt-daemon-system-systemd -------------------------------------------------libvirt-daemon-system-systemd

i believe the below should work, i'm hopping

sudo usermod -a -G operator <user>
sudo usermod -a -G kvm <user>
sudo usermod -a -G libvirtd <user>

i know these 2 lines below are wrong, i'm not sure how to convert from systemd to Devuan

sudo systemctl enable libvirtd
sudo systemctl start libvirtd

any help or guidance is perpetrated.

good day

My back ground is arch/arco and deian crunchbang++ 11/12. that may make me dangerious!!
I'm tring to get away from systemd, crunchbang++12 doesn't run as smouth as 11 did installed on the same computer.

i have installed:
gnuinos-5.0.0-daedalus_2024.06.01-ob-runit_amd64.iso

among others

gnuinos seems to be missing a file:
gsshaskpass

looked in the dir:

/usr/bin/gsshaskpass ls -la
bash: /usr/bin/gsshaskpass: No such file or directory

looked for the package with apt:

apt show gsshaskpass
N: Unable to locate package gsshaskpass
N: Unable to locate package gsshaskpass
E: No packages found

but it is clearly been programed in:
~/.config/openbox/menu.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openbox_menu xmlns="http://openbox.org/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://openbox.org/                 file:///usr/share/openbox/menu.xsd">
